About this map

Grosvenor Arch stands as a prominent landmark in this desert landscape, where the dramatic geologic ridge of The Cockscomb runs north-to-south through the terrain. The map details a complex network of drainages and basins, including Butler Valley and Round Valley, which are linked by the winding paths of Cottonwood Cr and Wahweap Cr. Water management in this arid environment is evidenced by the Butler Valley Reservoir, situated near Butler Valley Neck.

Remote canyons and flats define the character of the region, from the narrow passage of The Gut to the broad expanse of Horse Flat and Long Flat. Transportation through this backcountry relies on the established corridor of Cottonwood Canyon Rd. Unusual local toponyms like Cads Crotch and Rush Beds provide unique identifiers for specific landforms and vegetation patterns across these southern Utah rangelands.
